India batter Ajinkya Rahane has said that the dip in his form has to do with him playing just one format and with covid pandemic upending domestic cricket, that has only further affected his preparations and the result is evident in his scores at international level. Rahane, who been pigeonholed as a Test specialist since 2018, now has been battling form in the format for some time now and there have been calls for him to be dropped to give more chances to youngsters.
Explaining his predicament, Rahane says there’s been no Ranji Trophy for the past two seasons and no matter how much practice one does, it cannot be equated with match practice.
